Looking for any Kneale relatives!
I have no living Kneale relatives, other than my father who is 73, that I know of. My grandfather was Malcolm Sidney Huey Kneale, Grandmother Elsie Mehl Lewis Kneale, great grandparents Thomas and Fanny Howes Kneale. Don't know when but family originated in Isle of Mann. I've heard of a Great Aunt Nelly and Uncle Bert and a Norman Kneale. Anyone related to any of these people or can help, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello Melissa.
I had some Kneal relatives who used to live in Mt. Carroll, Illinois. My great grandfather, Robert H. Shimmin, stayed with Elizabeth Kneale (his aunt) from 1875 to about 1883. Elizabeth's husband William, came to Illinois at least before 1850. They had one daughter, Isabelle Kneale, who married a man named Laidig. They had one daughter, IsabelleI believe, who died at about 3 with spinal menningitis. The mother died in childbirth. Have you heard about these Kneales? As with my family, they came from the Isle of Man. What state are you looking for? Tony R. Shimmin

Melissa, Don't know if I can help you but I am in the same predicament as you. My Grandmother was Catherine Mary Kneale from the Isle of Mann and was born 16/9/1896 in Churchtown Lezayre. She immigrated to New Zealand leaving many brothers and sisters behind in Isle of Mann and married Herbert (Bert) Elstob. They had only one child (my Dad) who had the name of Norman Herbert Elstob. Seems coincidental but we know nothing of her family in the Isle of Mann, however my dad is going to live in England in December 2000 for a year and hopes to visit her birthplace and find out more about them. Catherine Mary Kneales parents were Thomas Edward Kneale and Mary Jane Kneale (nee Bawden). Regards Debbie

Aunt Nellie and Uncle Bert
Sorry, I have nothing on them. My Mother's family originated in the Isle of Mann, also, but I can find no connection. My Grandfather was Franklin Kneale, his Father was Thomas H. Kneale and his Mother was Hannah Tanner.

Re: Looking for any Kneale relatives!
Hi, I am related by marriage to Norman Kneale your grandfather's brother. He was married to my aunt Elizabeth (Betts) Henderson Kneale. They had one son, Donald Norman Kneale who passed away in 1987 in the Philadelphia area. Norman died in 1979 and Elizabeth died in 2001. Donald was married but later divorced and there were no children. I think you have your line a little confused. Elsie Mehl Kneale was married to Percy Thomas Kneale. Their son was Malcolm Sydney Huey Kneale. They also had a daughter Ruth Henrietta Kneale who married a Charles D. Turner according to Phila Marriage licenses on familysearch.org. Again according to Phila Marriage Licenses Malcolm S. H. Kneale married an Elsie Lewis. I hope this helps. Dottie
